So, What in the world is Macworld? A giant 3 day tech conference, presenting the world's largest retail platform in the IT and electronics sector. Not only is this a place for companies to showcase new products, but a techies dream! Sales left and right and crazy deals for leading gizmos. However, as you would imagine, this is only for products and services which are Apple related. Also, for some reason.. probably just for comic relief among all the g33k talk, Sinbad the comedian will be doing a live stand up show! There will be talks on various things, from digital artistry on the IPad, to using Powerpoint more efficiently; and expert advice on everything Apple.

If you only want to hit up the Expo, you can do it online for a mere: 25$ ! If you want access to all the user conferences as well however, and all the feature presentations ( including Sinbad! ) a one day ticket is going to cost you a pretty considerable 210 buckaroos. just hit up www.macworldexpo.com/attend ! BUT! guess what! you can get your expo ticket for a little as 10 bucks if you book online with the coupon code funcheap.

The conference is only minutes from your favorite hostel, so if you do end up going, come back to the Tortoise to rest your weary, computer filled head <3

February 3rd will be the beginning of the Chinese New Year. Here in San Francisco that means there will be plenty of celebrations going on. And here at the tortoise, where we try to not hold it against the hare for being so fast and spritely, we are primed and ready being just a short walk to Chinatown. So after you walk the 2 blocks over what then? Well first I would suggest going here and here for a full listing of what is going on in Chinatown. Regardless, parades and plenty of bars and booze should lead to a lot of fun for all involved. Go out and enjoy yourselves you beautiful bunnies.
